dargs-object

Converts an object of options into an array of command-line arguments

Basically the inverse of an argument parser like nopt or minimist.

Forked from https://github.com/sindresorhus/dargs

Install

$ npm install --save dargs-object

Example

var dargs = require('dargs-object');

var obj = {
    foo: 'bar',
    hello: true,                    // results in only the key being used
    cake: false,                    // ignored
    camelCase: 5,                   // camelCase is slugged to `camel-case`
    multiple: ['value', 'value2'],  // converted to multiple arguments
    object: {test:'value'},
    sad: ':('
};

var options={
    excludes:['sad'],
    convertCamelCase:true,
    joinLists:false
};
console.log(dargs(obj, options));

/*
[
    '--foo', 'bar',
    '--hello',
    '--camel-case', '5',
    '--multiple', 'value',
    '--multiple', 'value2',
    '--object.test', 'value'
]
